This structure, that could serve as a guesthouse or basic home, was dreamed up by Spanish architectural collective Vivood. Each Vivood shelter is constructed from [sustainably sourced wood](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/forest-nests-treepod-project), and includes a small porch and decking. It can also include a small toilet, bathroom and storage partition. Optional extras include [solar panels](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/e55000), a composting toilet and rainwater collection systems to help the shelter operate off-grid. The Vivood shelter is not designed for harsh climates, but can be considered a steal at only $9,160 for the basic, smallest unit. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.0/10 - Popularity: 47% | Activity: 95% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Eco](https://www.trendhunter.com/eco) > [Eco Architecture](https://www.trendhunter.com/ecoarchitecture) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Modular Shelter Design:** The Vivood Shelter demonstrates the trend of modular shelter design, allowing for easy assembly and customization. - **Off-grid Living Solutions:** The inclusion of solar panels, composting toilets, and rainwater collection systems in the Vivood Shelter highlights the trend of off-grid living solutions. - **Sustainable Construction Materials:** The use of sustainably sourced wood in the construction of the Vivood Shelter reflects the growing trend of utilizing sustainable materials in building projects. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Architecture and Construction:** The modular shelter trend presents opportunities for architects and construction companies to develop innovative, customizable, and efficient housing solutions. - **Renewable Energy:** Off-grid living solutions like the Vivood Shelter create opportunities for renewable energy companies to offer integrated solar panel systems and other sustainable energy solutions. - **Sustainable Living:** The use of sustainable construction materials in the Vivood Shelter aligns with the goals and practices of the sustainable living industry, opening opportunities for eco-friendly businesses. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Compact Sustainable Homes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-cabana.md) - [Modular Trailer-Free Tiny Homes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vagabond-haven-evergreen.md) - [Modular Living Structures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/modular-bv-system.md) - [Solar Powered Compact Homes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/e55000.md) - [Futuristic Modular Cabins](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pebl-grand-cabin.md) - [Shape‑shifting Retreats](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/modular-offgrid-house.md) - [Compactly Cubical Camping Shelters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cubical-camping-shelters.md) - [Move-in-Ready Tiny Homes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tiny-house-on-wheels.md) - [Compact Modular Forest Cabins](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/digital-house.md)
